asciilifeform: and little else

asciilifeform: also am i the only one to whom 'unbanked' evokes a way of connecting memory ? ☟︎

asciilifeform: worx

asciilifeform: cough up keyz or die of thirst?

asciilifeform never has, and never will, go near anything 'bitcoin-themed' meatspace in heathendom.

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-02-2016#1411817 << l0l! ☝︎

asciilifeform: i have nfi why it needed 'progress'...

asciilifeform: my build script is two dozen lines, and bugless.

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-02-2016#1411785 << i won't use thing that insists n downloads. and i ~definitely~ won't use a thing that wants to rebuild gcc or boost etc each time. ☝︎

asciilifeform: it - works...

asciilifeform: and intend to continue.

asciilifeform: re: thread: ftr i still use my original rotor builder.

asciilifeform: things that won't be pulled in no matter what.

asciilifeform: basic gentooism, it's a list of nevers

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-02-2016#1411795 << thats what package mask is for!! ☝︎

asciilifeform bbl

asciilifeform: phf: very spiffy

asciilifeform: oh nm

asciilifeform: phf: why is shiva 'deprecated' ?

asciilifeform: related >> http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=07-11-2015#1319115 ☝︎

asciilifeform: aha!

asciilifeform: the one on right hand: 'is this ALL THE NOOSE you could SPARE!?!!'

asciilifeform: the one on the left hand side : 'snore, noose'

asciilifeform: only one looks visibly displeased

asciilifeform: interesting!

asciilifeform: l0lz

asciilifeform: the one with the planar groups

asciilifeform: was it the intellectual-curiosity thread..?

asciilifeform: (but would like to!)

asciilifeform: i don't recall this

asciilifeform: rhetorical example. imagine we were american grunts. their pin - comes out.

asciilifeform ~knows~ that the pin does not normally come out! does not need correction on subj

asciilifeform: *paint

asciilifeform: and not because missed a spot of green pain when painting motherfucking grass.

asciilifeform: if the cane is because forgot to put the firing pin in the kalash on reassembly

asciilifeform: even then it makes sense.

asciilifeform: correctly cut cabbage is USEFUL

asciilifeform: the cabbage makes sense though !

asciilifeform: structure!1111

asciilifeform: *soldiers

asciilifeform: back in the day.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu's soliders painted quite a lot of grass fields green, and snowmen - white, didn't they.

asciilifeform: ick

asciilifeform: but perhaps i was thinking of pollack

asciilifeform: to the extent my stomach permitted.

asciilifeform: lightly familiar

asciilifeform: the talentless wretch who is very good at sweat, and paints, paints - this is warhol.

asciilifeform: no, it is what you get when you take out the talent, and leave ~only~ the toil.

asciilifeform: and then recrunching the hashes.

asciilifeform: likewise, it is very easy to 'cheat' by applying fuzzy-diff.

asciilifeform: peeling potatoes.

asciilifeform: it is gruntwork and the ability to do it does not correlate with anything higher.

asciilifeform: the manual merging thing is quite exam.

asciilifeform: but machine can also be fooled, in the long run, by 'exam takers.'

asciilifeform: overall i agree with this, and personally i have introduced many tortures, as the folks reading have felt on own skins.

asciilifeform: and nobody else.

asciilifeform: it is made up of all such who are.

asciilifeform: i burn in this hell because too weak to escape it, and ergo it is the correct place.

asciilifeform: and yes, i am.

asciilifeform: machine is not a pill against retardation.

asciilifeform: who, yes, had an easier time getting and staying in.

asciilifeform: from inferior people.

asciilifeform: (or, conversely, its absence, a ticket to prb damnation)

asciilifeform: i don't see the manual monk-copying as being automagically a thing of correctness-making.

asciilifeform: it means to cut out the scar tissue and replace with prosthesis.

asciilifeform: in bitcoin 'progress' just means something very different.

asciilifeform: or waste of time ?

asciilifeform: does mircea_popescu want it to be finished, and replace the idiot rpc ?

asciilifeform: well, take, for instance, 'shiva'

asciilifeform: not exactly

asciilifeform: the fuel ?

asciilifeform: my point was that mircea_popescu is asking 'the tank must be 1,000 tonnes! because fuckyou' but from where comes the engine ?

asciilifeform: the one with the naval cannon

asciilifeform: would have been, a what, 1500 tonne !

asciilifeform: anyone recall 'landkreuzer' ?

asciilifeform: did it even make it that far east ?

asciilifeform: well sure. but did not get far.

asciilifeform: built 'maus', which not one bridge in europe could hold.

asciilifeform: i am reminded of the german fella who proclaimed 'the tank will be 200 tonnes and fuck you'

asciilifeform: and then write it.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: say we do things precisely as you described. and tomorrow i publish a patch. now everyone who wants to test it, cannot apply it at all unless he is willing to use my tree wholesale. instead he has to MANUALLY merge it in, line by line. and then i end up back-and-forth-ing over his typos for the next month, instead of doing ANYTHING else

asciilifeform: one of these things is not like the other.

asciilifeform: the work that goes into 'regrinding' is idiot waste.

asciilifeform: this is making the student peel potatoes 18 hr. a day.

asciilifeform: this is different.

asciilifeform: we have ddt for this.

asciilifeform: whereas he ought to understand that he is squandering a ~finite~ resource.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu doesn't seem to give the least damn about sweat, so long as it is not off his own back. 'who cares how many zeks it takes to build belomor canal' ?

asciilifeform: https://cryptome.org/2016/02/usg-apple-edny-026-027.pdf >>> http://dpaste.com/3ACY3QB.txt << moar lulz

asciilifeform: quite.

asciilifeform: holy shit.

asciilifeform: lulzy how this is the exact inverse of the lisp machine thread !

asciilifeform: or the hapsburgs, etc.

asciilifeform: witness nick-2 vs peter-1

asciilifeform: this one has demonstrable teeth.

asciilifeform: actually it is the omnipotence of regression-to-the-mean

asciilifeform: because there was no other ride.

asciilifeform: and the few intelligent, honest folk, along for the ride

asciilifeform: i see it as imbeciles setting out to do evil things and succeeding.

asciilifeform: i don't see prb or the xml circus as 'good people, good intentions, bad tool'
